Drea Leed

When I first saw a photo of this dress, I instantly recognized it from Lucas de Heere's sketch of London gentlewomen, and I was so thrilled to see a truly accurate representation of middle-class Elizabethan dress! You can read more about this gown and loose kirtle in Lady Drea's Wardrobe Unlock'd which provides a perfect example of Drea's wonderful research, fine craftsmanship, and attention to authenticity... just a few of the reasons I have admired this costumer so much over the past few years!
